Don’t look for me today…

It’s Saturday. There’s plenty of sunshine, a little breeze, and it’s not even cold. So of course people like me are busy thinking up strategies to go and harass women at abortion clinics. Because that’s obviously where anti-abortion (or pro-life, or anti-choice; I’m not sure which particular label I should apply to myself) sentiment leads, right? Says so right here in the paper:

Carolyn Egan, from the Ontario Coalition for Abortion Clinics, reports increased harassment of women at their sites. “We believe the Conservative government policies have emboldened and given confidence to the anti-abortion element and it’s extremely unnerving.”

Have yourselves a wonderful day!

Andrea adds: I find it funny that when women are pro-abortion, they are quoted as “women’s groups.” But when women’s groups are pro-life, they can’t figure out what to do. Couldn’t possibly be a women’s group, could it? Naaaa. We’re a front for old, white men? And they make us go and harass women in front of clinics?

“Women’s groups perceive the parliamentary religious right as stronger, more comfortable and cockier”
Did PWPL say that, aren’t WE a women’s group? We’re definitely a misrepresented people. So when is that Not in My Name march again?

You don’t fit in the neatly-defined boxes that writers need in order to write a clear report. The term ‘women’s group’ is reserved for reasons of history for a very specific type of group – the type that formerly fought for equal employment and treatment, though now seems rather lost for direction having won those goals. Definatly a liberal thing though. So a pro-life group, a conservative group… it breaks the system. There is no pigeonhole.
